Stampin' Up! Blueberry Bushel

 

Welcome to a Week 12 of the Colour Creations Showcase blog hop. This week we continue our journey through the remaining Stampin' Up! core colours, working in alphabetical order, with this week's feature colour being Blueberry Bushel. Blueberry Bushel  is a member of the group of the Regals family of colours, and is bold blue colour between Boho Blue and Night of Navy on the colour wheel.

 This week I have chosen to revisit the Online Exclusive bundle, Filled With Fun and I have teamed Blueberry Bushel with Granny Apple Green, White and a touch of Pumpkin Pie. The great thing about this bundle is that there is no fussy cutting required!

 Attached to the card base is a piece of star pattered paper from the Bright and Beautiful Designer Series Paper pack. On top of this a piece of Blueberry Bushel card has been die cut using the largest of the Deckled Rectangle dies, and then another smaller Deckled rectangle using white card.

The patches of grass have been cut using one of the Fluffiest Friends dies, another Online Exclusive, and some Granny Apple Green card. Both layers of the cart have also been die cut using Granny Apple Green card and the dies from the Filled With Fun die set. The wheels to the cart use Black and Blueberry Bushel card, and  some Blueberry Bushel Tinsel Gems added for the wheel centres.

The multitude of flowers within the cart have been stamped in Black Memnto abnd then coloured using Blueberry Bushel Granny Green Apple and Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends. They were then die cut using the die from the same set. 

The butterflies in the top right corner are from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set and have been stamped in Black Memento and coloured using Boho Blue and Blueberry Bushel Stampin Blends. 

The sentiment is from the Wanted To Say die set and has been die cut using White card as the base and Blueberry Bushel as the letter definition and then popped up using Dimensionals. 

For the inside of the card I have continued the rows of flowers the same as those in the cart, in Blueberry Bushel, Granny Apple Green and Pumpkin Pie. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the talented Ros Davidson . I look forward to seeing her lovely creation this week.

Stampin' Up! Basic Gray

 

Welcome to a Week 9 of the Colour Creations Showcase blog hop. This week we continue our journey through the remaining Stampin' Up! core colours, working in alphabetical order, with this week's feature colour being Basic Gray. Basic Gray is as the name suggests a strong gray colour and a member of the Neutrals Group of colours. 

This week the bundle chosen to feature is actually one that I purchased sometime ago but until this week was yet to be inked up. It is the Online Exclusive, Fluffiest Friends, and is super cute. I have always been a fan of oink and gray together so the colours for this week are Basic Gray, Pretty In Pink and Basic White, with a few splashes of Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie.

 The super cute cat has been stamped in Black Memento ink and then coloured using Smoky Slate Stampin Blends as there are no Basic Gray Stampin Blends, along with use of the colour lifter. For the cute nose and the flower, Pretty In Pink blends have been used. This has then been die cut with the corresponding die from the Fluffiest Friends dies and popped up with dimensionals onto a piece of Basic White card that has been die cut using a Deckled Circles die. This white circle has been stamped using the floral stamp from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set and coloured using Stampin Blends. This was then mounted onto a piece of Pretty In Pink card also die cut using Deckled Circles. 

Rather than stamping a sentiment this week I have chosen to use the Wanted To Say dies, cutting the letters in Basic White and mounting on an outline using Basic Gray card. I did try reversing this order but it didn't seem to "pop" as much as this option.

 The flowers have been die cut using the flowers from the Around The Bend dies and a "reverse" side of one of the papers from Lily Pond Lane. Designer Adhesive Backed Dappled Dots in Pretty In Pink have been added to the flower centres. 

Once again this week I have chosen to use a piece of the 6 X 6  Designer Series Paper as the base, but this time the feature colour is Basic Gray. This has then been mounted onto a piece of Basic Gray card and then onto a thick White card. 

 To add interest to the card inside, more of the flowers have been stamped and coloured like on the front. This time some grass has been added using a die from Fluffiest Friends and Granny Apple Green card. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the talented Sharon Davern. I look forward to seeing her lovely creation this week.

Stampin' Up! Blackberry Bliss

 

This week, is week 13 in the Colour Creations blog hop and this week we continue our journey through the existing Stampin' Up! core colours, working in alphabetical order. This week our feature colour is  Blackberry Bliss, a very bold, as the name suggests, Blackberry colour that is a member of the Neutrals colour group, believe it or not!

 

Whilst scrolling on Pinterest for a colour combination to use this week, I came across one of Brian King's that really appealed to me, Blackberry Bliss, Misty Moonlight and Fresh Freesia.  For the first time in a long time there is also NO stamping on either of the cards I am sharing this week. I am letting the dies do all the "talking". 

 

For my first card I have randomly coloured a piece of Basic White cardstock using Blending Brushes and Blackberry Bliss, Misty Moonlight and Fresh Freesia ink pads. I have then die cut another piece of Basic White cardstock using one of the Gorgeous Garden dies and randomly sponged some of the flower cut outs using Blackberry Bliss. 

I have then used Wink Of Stella on each of the seed pods or buds, whichever you chose to call them. 

The sentiment has been die cut using the Wanted to Say dies and Blackberry Bliss for the background and Basic White for the script. I have also added some Silver Simply Elegant Trim which I have separated all of the strands and placed them under the sentiment. The bow has been cut using the Holographic Specialty Paper. Finally I have added a couple of the Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems.

For my second and also "no stamping" card, I have reversed the 2 layers. This time I have sponged a piece of Vellum, still using Blackberry Bliss, Misty Moonlight and Fresh Freesia ink pads and Blending Brushes. 

I have used a different sentiment in this card but still from the same set, Wanted to Say. I have also added the Silver Simply Elegant Trim, Wink of Stella and Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems as in the first card. 

 

When planning these cards it was actually the second version that came to mind first but now I think I actually prefer the first one. What about you?

Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Caroline Manwaring.  I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation.
